We viewed this block abt 2 weeks ago at Tampines near the swimming pool. We like the layout & made the offer $28K cash over valuation.

We waited for the valuation report for 2 weeks & it is finally ready today. We met the property agent, Robin, to exercise the option just now.

Before we signed on the dotted line, luckily Robin called the house owner to confirm the offer. To our dismay, the owner told him that his wife’s friend also offered them $30K COV. We were caught off guard.

Not to delay the negotiation further, we decided to go down & talk to the owner face to face. Robin persuaded the owner that we are very sincere in buying the unit & highlighted the disadvantages of the conditions mentioned by their friend of trading on "contra".

Finally the owner agreed on the deal after we topped our offer to $30K to match the counter-offer.

I’m so excited, finally I’m going to have my own room (I’ve been staying in a 2 rm flat & sleep with my mom & sis all these years)!!

We really look forward to be a genuine houseowner in another 2 months’ time. We have started to plan on renovation work that we wanna do liao.

oh no…I gotta save more money to contribute to the house since my dear husband-to-be has been paying most of the wedding expenses including the house. I din pay anything yet at this juncture.

Let’s cross my fingers & hope that all things will go through smoothly.
